[Idyllchat] New Heartland Hikes?

[Kenneth Knoll]

Jan and I did the Gelmersee several years ago, after reading a 
recommendation from Vance, and really enjoyed the day, .  Two comments...as 
I recall, the bus trip was expensive, because we were charged as if we were 
taking one of the pass routes.  Also, the funicular, which by itself is 
worth a visit, was very busy and we waited in line for maybe an hour going 
up.  But once at the top, it was fantastic.  We didn't go all the way 
around, not as brave as Hal and Vance, but still enjoyed a good hike and a 
picnic lunch.  This is on our return trip list for later this summer.

Ken and Jan Knoll
